The new YTV family series Cache Craze was filming at Yonge-Dundas Square in #Toronto today. The geocaching based competition game show is from 9 Story Entertainment and the 10-week series premieres in spring of 2013. The show is described as a treasure hunt hosted by comedian Ryan Horwood. Geocaching is a great way to explore and consists of finding small items hidden away which can only be found by following map coordinates using handheld GPS units or even smartphones.

Today's set constructed within the public square consisted of hundreds of coloured balloons hung on metal girders. Contestants jumped on pogo-sticks wearing spiked helmets popping the balloons hanging above their heads.

The show continues after the jump.

“Geocaching has captivated adventure enthusiasts from around the world and is perfect for engaging teen and family audiences. We are delighted to be working with YTV to bring this smart and exciting new show to young viewers,” said Vince Commisso, President and CEO, 9 Story Entertainment."
